Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] Embodiment 1:

[0024] like Figure 1 The flower box with water storage function shown in the figure includes a box body 1 with an open top, a plurality of notches 2 are provided on the upper surface of the box body 1, a plurality of flower racks 3 are installed in the box body, and the flower racks 3 are arranged at a distance from the inner bottom surface of the box body 1. The flower racks 3 are arranged in a matrix, and the flower racks 3 in the same horizontal direction or the same longitudinal direction are connected in series in sequence to form a group of flower rack rows; in this embodiment, the flower rack row is a group of flower racks in the same longitudinal direction that are connected in series in sequence. The two outermost flower racks in the flower rack row are respectively provided with card plates 4, and the card plates 4 are mutually engaged with the notches 2 on the box body 1, so that the flower rack row can be detachably installed on the box body 1, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement of the flower rack row. A handle 5 is fixed on the side of the flower rack row to facilitate the placement and removal of the flower rack row.

[0025] The upper surface of the flower stand 3 is provided with a cultivation trough 6; the cultivation trough 6 of this embodiment is cylindrical, and can also be set to a square or other shapes. A ring frame 7 is fixed on the inner wall of the cultivation trough 6, and a number of small holes 7-1 are evenly opened on the ring frame 7. A water-absorbing cotton ring 8 is fixedly installed between the upper surface of the ring frame 7 and the notch 2 of the cultivation trough 6, and a sponge pad 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cultivation trough 6; as a preferred embodiment, the water-absorbing cotton ring 8 and the sponge pad 10 are both embedded to facilitate disassembly and replacement. A number of first water-absorbing ropes 9 are provided in the cultivation trough 6, one end of the first water-absorbing rope 9 passes through the ring frame 7 and is connected to the water-absorbing cotton ring 8, and the other end is connected to the sponge pad 10. A number of second water-absorbing ropes 12 are provided between the flower stand 3 and the inner bottom surface of the box body 1, one end of the second water-absorbing rope 12 passes through the bottom of the flower stand 3 and is connected to the sponge pad 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the water-absorbing ball 13. A through-hole 11 is provided between the sponge pad 10 and the bottom of the cultivation trough 6.

[0026] When the flower box is in use, the box body 1 stores water by itself, and the water in the box body 1 is absorbed and conducted to the annular frame 7 through the water absorbing ball 13, the second water absorbing rope 12, the sponge pad 10, the first water absorbing rope 9, and the water absorbing cotton ring 8, so that a stable water supply can be provided to the cultivation trough 6, and the water flows through the small holes 7-1 on the annular frame 7 and falls on the soil surface, so that the soil on the surface of the cultivation trough 6 can be moistened with water, which can effectively prevent the plants from softening on the dry soil surface and realize the automatic water storage function. Since the small holes 7-1 on the annular frame 7 are evenly arranged, the water absorbed by the water absorbing cotton ring 8 can fall evenly on the soil surface, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of uneven soil moisture in the cultivation trough 6.

[0027] Preferably, the water-absorbing ball 13 is in contact with the bottom surface of the box body 1, so as to ensure that even a small amount of water stored in the box body 1 can be absorbed by the water-absorbing ball 13, and then supplied to the sponge pad 10 and the water-absorbing cotton ring 8 above.

[0028] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0029] When the flower box needs to be installed, the box 1 is placed in the designated area, and then the flower racks are propped up by the handles 5 and placed into the box 1 , and the card plates 4 on both sides are snapped into the slots 2 on the box 1 , so that each flower rack 3 is fixedly installed in the box 1 .

[0030] Put the flower seeds together with the soil in the cultivation trough 6, cover the sponge pad 10 with the soil, fill the entire cultivation trough 6 and be located under the annular frame 7, then add a certain amount of water flow into the box body 1, conduct the water to the sponge pad 10 through the absorbent ball 13 and the second absorbent rope 12, and the sponge pad 10 can supply water to the bottom of the soil; then the first absorbent rope 9 absorbs the water in the sponge pad 10 and conducts it to the absorbent cotton ring 8. After the absorbent cotton ring 8 collects water, the water flows evenly from the annular frame 7 to the surface of the soil, thereby automatically replenishing the soil with water in a balanced manner. When there is too much water in the soil, it can flow into the box body 1 through the leakage hole 11 at the bottom of the cultivation trough 6 for storage.

[0031] When it rains, in order to avoid excessive water collection in the box 1, a drainage groove 14 is opened on the side wall of the box. The height of the drainage groove 14 is lower than the bottom surface of the flower rack. When the water level in the box 1 is higher than the drainage groove 14, the excess water is higher than the drainage groove 14 and is discharged out of the box 1, so that the water level in the box 1 is always lower than the bottom of the flower rack 3, avoiding the soil in the cultivation trough 6 being completely immersed in the water flow.

[0032] Embodiment 2:

[0033] See also Figure 1 Based on the first embodiment, the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0034] In this embodiment: a circle of light strip 19 is arranged around the outer circumference of the box body 1, and the side walls of the box body 1 are respectively installed with a light energy sensing board 17, a power storage box 16, a solar panel 15 and a sensor box 18; the power storage box 16 is electrically connected to the light strip 19, the light energy sensing board 17, the solar panel 15 and the sensor box 18 respectively; the light energy sensing board 17 is electrically connected to the sensor box 18. The light strip 19 that self-adaptively emits light at night can remind passers-by of the flower box obstacles to prevent bumping, and can improve the overall aesthetics of the flower box; the power storage box 16 is charged by the solar panel 15, reducing energy loss; the power storage box provides working power for the light strip 19, the light energy sensing board 17 and the sensor box 18; the light energy sensing board 17 detects the surrounding light environment and transmits the signal to the sensor box 18, and the sensor box 18 turns on the power supply of the power storage box 16 to the light strip 19, thereby lighting up the light strip 19 at night to remind passers-by of the flower box obstacles and prevent passers-by from bumping the flower box;

[0035] The solar panel 15, the battery box 16, the light energy sensing board 17, the sensor box 18, and the light strip 19 cooperate with each other. The solar panel 15, the battery box 16, the light energy sensing board 17, the sensor box 18, and the light strip 19 are all existing structures, and the control circuit can be realized by simple programming by technicians in this field. It belongs to the common knowledge in this field. Only the control circuit is used without modification, so the control method and circuit connection are not described in detail. When the light energy sensing board 17 senses that the environment is dark, it transmits a signal to the sensor box 18, and the power supply of the battery box 16 to the light strip 19 is turned on through the sensor box 18. When the light energy sensing board 17 senses that the environment is bright, the power supply of the battery box 16 to the light strip 19 is turned off through the sensor box 18.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the flower box is placed outdoors. On sunny days, the solar panel 15 can absorb energy and convert it into electric energy in the power storage box 16. When it is daytime, the light energy sensor board 17 senses that the environment around the box 1 is bright, and transmits a signal to the sensor box 18, and the sensor box 18 turns off the power supply of the light strip 19 by the power storage box 16. At night, when the light energy sensor board 17 senses that the environment around the box 1 is dark, it transmits a signal to the sensor box 18, and the power supply of the light strip 19 by the power storage box 16 is turned on through the sensor box 18. The light strip 19 lights up around the box 1, thereby reminding passers-by and providing lighting and aesthetics.
